Hooligan's Wake Up: Dos Santos says no to Mexico for Copa America

Headlines
Giovani Dos Santos was in line to receive a Mexico call up for this summer's Copa America, but the star forward has turned his country down. Dos Santos is perfectly healthy, he jsut did not wish to play in the tournament. LA Galaxy sure won't complain. They will be without multiple big players, such as Robbie Keane for Euros nand Gyasi Zardes for Copa America, so having Gio around will help. Mexico should be fine too, Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is in the form of his life right now in the Bundesliga and should be able to pick up the slack.

DeAndre Yedlin is the property of Tottenham right now, but spent the season on loan with Sunderland. He played a fair amount in the northeast as part of their efforts to survive the relegation fight and now the Black Cats want to keep him around. They have offered Spurs £2 million to sign the left back/midfielder permanently. I, for one, hope Tottenham accept the offer. Yedlin needs playing time and that's something he isn't likely to get considering the depth at left back at Spurs.

One thing that has wrecked Italian football over the years has been repeated match fixing scandals. Another one may have just popped up on Serie A's final day. A few betting companies noticed a large spike in bets relating to the Napoli-Frosinone match last weekend. Abnormal numbers of wagers for a Frosinone red card and Napoli winning were popping up and, wouldn't you know it, A Frosinone player was sent off 13 minutes in and Napoli won 4-0. These types of things don't go unnoticed these days and an investigation has kicked off into the odd series of coincidences.
